If you are lodging a visa application in a country included in the biometrics programme, regardless of nationality, you might need to provide your biometrics in relation to each visa application you lodge. Biometrics are collected at an Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC) or an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre (ABCC) when an application is lodged in one of the countries listed below. For more details on how to provide your biometrics, check the website of the AVAC or ABCC provider in your country.

If you have travelled to Australia without providing your biometrics in the country in which you lodged, you must contact the
immigration office processing your application to make suitable arrangements.
